okay, well maybe not all the way complete, because i cant find the photo for january haha. it's a solo picture of chloe and the theme is vintage because she tried the masquerade thing...with acrylic paint...and um it didnt work out so well at all. moving on!

I was tipping my hat to whoever picked Amy's shoes for that movie the entire time.
Actually, her whole wardrobe.
It makes me really happy to interpret an outfit I see on polyvore and just look at it and imagine me wearing it haha.

i am most definitely not going to dedicate a whole post to all of them, its just that...i'm kind of impressed that my parents put up with me all the way through highschool without strangling me.

round of applause to them.

_____

this is my sweet sweet mother.

her birthday is tomorow.

and i just don't have words for all that she has given me.

i didn't deserve to have her fight for me like she has from day one.

she will always be the first one there to cheer me on, whether i'm wanting to be a super model, a photographer, a pastry chef, a blogger, or a nurse. she is behind me 100% and probably gets more excited about my dreams than i do....although i am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing when she does nothing to discourage me from having the BIGGEST girl crush on a boy who doesnt know that i kind of have our whole wedding planned out.

vintage photo shoot she shot for me just because.

a very happy birthday to the one who made me who i am.

thank you for passing along to me your sky-watching ways/your love of cupcakes and photography.

and while i am at it, i must also wish a very happy early birthday to our valentine:

Question: before I start my long, drawn out, sit you on the edge of your seat story...Would you link up with my if I had "Hey, it's Okay! Tuesdays" ?
I really want to make it a weekly thing.
Because I'm telling you...THAT felt good to write.
I want you all to try it.
Meet me at Laynah's Corner on Tuesday?

{My hear me roar story has been making me crave animal print...also, the fact that animal print is so dang fabulous has been making me crave animal print}

The other day, I had class from 8am to 10pm. With one or two study breaks, a lunch break, and a gelatto break thrown in there.I was really kind of tired by the time I started on my way home.Also, I am really kind of poor. But I got this feeling...Hm, I don't exactly know how much money is on my card, so maybe I should just try it and see how much gas I can buy.As I pull into the gas station however, the bright lights helped me realize that my car was steaming. Bad. After getting gas (yay) and letting my car cool off for quiite a while, I parked in a brightly lit spot in full view of God and everyone so I wouldn't get murdered, and checked it out.

My daggum radiator hose had been spitting anti-freeze onto almost everything under my hood out of this little annoying hole...but I was so impressed that I knew that.And even though my house was still 45 minutes away and I had to do laundry and take a shower so I could wake up at 5 the next morning to go to work...I started laughing.I laughed and laughed and laughed.

About a million men (15 maybe) were going about their business, watching this crazy girl looking under the hood of her steaming vehicle and laughing like a maniac to herself without bothering to help. And the more I laughed the crazier I looked...and the more I laughed. But anyways, I bought some electrical tape and fixed it up quite nicely and was very tired the next day.

Sometimes I think just maybe, I can handle being a grown up.Life is tough but so am I.

Half way before your shift is over, nearly die from a nutella craving. Think of nothing else until you clock out. Rush to the store, ask the first employee you see "Do you sell nutella in this place?" and calmly find your way over to the nutella. Go to check out.

1. when you look like a crazy fool running around to different places in different outfits trying to shoot a calendar.

2. when you are paying for gas and forget what pump you were at, so you take a step to the side to look out the window and see, when the man behind you steps up to the counter like it's his turn when you are obviously not done paying...making it necessary to reach over the candy and stuff to continue the transaction.

3. when you forget every single bit of manners you ever learned because you are cold and hungry and tired and SO annoyed that your car is breaking again.

4. when your ovaries forget their job for six months and it seems oddly frequent when you go back to the whole once a month thing.

awesome.

1. when kids are shy around you at first, and within 15 minutes are sitting on your lap giving you butterfly kisses/wanting to hold your hand. what if we were all that open with how we felt about people? haha.

2. the cutest little cookie cards from mrs. fields that i got daddy for his birthday.
